Opel car's innovations

Adam Opel AG (Opel) is a German automobile company founded by Adam Opel in 1862. Opel has been building automobiles since 1899, and became an Aktiengesellschaft in 1929. The company is headquartered in Rüsselsheim, Hesse, Germany. It became a majority-stake subsidiary of the US based General Motors in 1929 and has been a wholly owned subsidiary since 1931.

In 2010, Opel announced that it will invest around €11 billion in the next five years. One billion of that is designated solely for the development of innovative and fuel-saving engines and transmissions.Opel will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the contents of this Site are accurate and up to date but does not accept any liability for any claims or losses arising from a reliance upon the contents of the Site.

We put all our engineering expertise into creating affordable technologies for optimized safety and higher performance.

Instead of restricting your options we open up a world of possibilities. Knowing your needs and wishes helps us open up new ways to make our vehicles more versatile than ever.

Sometimes you want to drive your car and your bicycle on the same day. But you don't want to mount he bike rack each time. No problem with the integrated FlexFix® bike carrier system.

The FlexFix rear carrier system simply slides out from the rear bumper, so it doesn’t take up storage space in your garage or home. On the 5-door it takes 2 bikes (18 inches – 28 inches frames), on the Sports Tourer up to 4 (with an accessory adapter). And because it is low, it is really easy to load.
